Update: Delavan Rehired

Greg Delavan has his old job back as manager of the Coeur d’Alene Airport. Delavan was fired last October by the Kootenai County Board of Commissioners, but this morning the board voted 2-1 to reinstate him at his same salary and benefits. Delavan also will be paid for the three months he was out of a job. He did not receive any type of settlement, but for two years Delavan will have an extra layer of job security as a “for-cause” rather than “at-will” employee, board Chairman David Stewart said. Stewart and the other newly seated commissioner, Marc Eberlein, voted for Delavan’s reinstatement agreement. Commissioner Dan Green, one of two commissioners who voted to terminate Delavan last fall, opposed bringing him back but said he’d now work to implement the board’s reversal. The county has not released Delavan’s contract. Delavan went back to work today/Scott Maben, SR. More here.
